6月2日―５日まで南相馬に来られ、あちこち現地を見学していかれました。シスター長谷川和子と終生誓願が一緒だったので、ゆっくりおしゃべりができたのもよかったです。Sr. Oh Maria came to Minamisoma from June 2 to 5 and visited many places. She and Sr. Kazuko Hasegawa had a mini-reunion, since they had been in the same group when they made their final vows. They had time to have a nice chat.
